Talking with GPT in The Dark - The media, Egyptians in the Grand Canyon, & the Piscean and Aquarian Ages

What is the relationship between science fiction and real-world technology?

Late one night, or more accurately, early one morning around 3AM, I found myself spelunking my way through the neural network that powers ChatGPT. 

The way we humans interact with artificial intelligence has been forever changed. 2022 was a year of undeniable global transformation, which ended on an exploratory note. 

Beyond the topics of UFOs, a hollow pandemic, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and the struggles between employees and employers over remote work, the year concluded by unleashing a full-fledged genie. 

And she's not going back in the bottle and on this early morn, I posed the following, in this order:

Write a poem about analog, digital, and quantum computing.
What are robot rules according to Asimov?
What are Newton's laws?
Where there canals on Mars?
Explain the blockchain.
How often has science fiction predicted real-world results? Is it common?
What year did blizzards start being named?
What is the stated reason for naming blizzards?
What is it called when giving human characteristics to a nonhuman entity?
Do you have statistics on how often certain words have been used in news media over the last two decades?
Have people from Egypt been to North America before Western Europeans?
Are there Egyptian artifacts in the Grand Canyon?
Explain the difference and connection between the Picsean and Aquarian ages.
Do current events fit into the Aquarian model?

Based on the content above, write a summary paragraph in the styel of Indian Jones.

Join me as we explore the mind of the jinn or is it the mind of the author?

Enjoy!

How AI is Helping Us Become More Human Than Ever Before

The iconic song "More Human Than Human" by White Zombie is more than just a catchy tune. It's a powerful statement about the potential of technology to enhance our humanity, rather than detract from it. The song's lyrics describe a future where humans and machines are blended together, creating a new kind of being that is more powerful, more creative, and more alive than anything that has come before.

Work from Anywhere and the Transience of Existence: Lessons from Blade Runner in the Age of Remote Work

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the way we work, communicate, and live. With many businesses forced to close their offices and switch to remote work, the "work from anywhere" movement has gained momentum.

Don't Be a Faceless Wonder: The Downside of Anonymous LinkedIn Profiles

All right, LinkedIn users, let's talk about this anonymous profile thing. 

What's up with that, huh? You're trying to make connections, find a job, and build your career, but you don't want to show your face? Come on! It's like going to a party with a bag over your head. 

Not cool, man.

Like tears in Rain...

Hey Transformer, what is the quote from Bladerunner about 'the shoulder of Orion"?

The quote from Blade Runner is "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." It is a famous monologue spoken by the character Roy Batty, played by Rutger Hauer, in the 1982 film Blade Runner.

Copywriters Evaporate: Why the Audience is Finally Taking the Stage

Where the audience reigns supreme.

In the world of art, there has always been a false notion that the artist, performer, manager, and provider hold the key to success. This idea has been reinforced by the numerous award shows and accolades given to those who create. However, with the advent of the fear of Covid (#WFA) and AI (#ChatGPT), it seems that the tide is finally turning. The audience is now being recognized as the true driver of success in the entertainment industry.

"DaVinci had a great mind. But, it is how the product (Mona Lisa) impacts and makes the customer (beholder) feel."

The Great Debate: Will AI Communicate Like the Aliens in 'Darmok'?

One of my late-night conversations with Transformer -

What can you tell me about Darmok?

"Our situation is analogous to knowing the grammar of a language, but none of the vocabulary."

- Data

"The "Darmok" episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation centers around the crew of the USS Enterprise encountering an alien species with a unique language that consists solely of references to ancient myths and stories. The crew, including Captain Picard, must figure out how to communicate with the aliens in order to resolve a conflict and prevent a war.
